The Art of Conceiving

I've always thought making babies would be easy.

Bullshit! ðŸ™Š

At least not when you're making them through the unconventional way. Is this to prepare you for all the hardships they (the kids) will give you in life? Is this a warning sign - Please don't be stupid, kids will be your worst nightmare? Making them is already being my nightmare, this can only get better isn't it?
High protein diet #doasyouretold
Two days after the egg collection and still feeling like my abdomen is going to explode. Feel sick all the time but still trying to intake 2-3 litres of fluid a day plus "a high protein diet" as recommended as it's suppose to help with the symptoms. Something is getting compromised - obviously.

Not sure if you want to know or not, but I'll share it anyway - My bladder is working better now (bigger amounts of wee in one go) and bowels started working today. Yay!! Still not helped with the symptoms though.
They said symptoms should go away in a couple of day - I honestly hope so as I've got appointments to go to this week and all I feel like doing is laying down at the moment.

In regards to our future babies, only 10/19 were mature enough to be fertilized and only 6/10 got to the next stage. They said they are good numbers considering the fact I only had one shot for this. Despite the fact they said that, I was not very happy with the news because they raised my hope when they were so happy with the 19 after the procedure. I'd rather they said "We've got 19 but not all of them will be mature" just to lower my expectations. Anyway, fingers crossed these 6 little devils will hold until the freezing stage. We will know better on Saturday.

I've been worried about so many things regarding this. There's only a 40% chance of the embryo implementing - for my age group (this is obviously way after I've been cleared from cancer and be able to get pregnant) - and if we haven't got enough for a few attempts we might only be able to have one baby at the best. M and I were both raised as only child's and would really like to consider having at least two children, but I guess it will have to be something to be considered and discussed further when we actually know our chances.
We'll see how it goes on Saturday when they freeze them and then I can rest this case to face chemo and kick cancer in the face!
